Let's play the unpublished cover game!

A no-prize to folks who can guess the actual issues these unpublished covers were intended for?

  1. Iron Man no. 121
    Amazing Spider-Man no. 220
    X-Factor no. 2 (pretty much the same cover, really)
    Amazing Spider-Man no. 262 (looks like the photographed cover, appropriately)

    Iron Man no. ???? Arrgh, the only one I don't recognize...I'm going to guess it's Iron Man no. 232, the last Armor Wars, the one published with a nice Barry Windsor-Smith cover instead?

    Thank you, this was fun.

    Amazing Spider-Man #220 - Correct!
    X-Factor #2 - Correct!
    Amazing Spider-Man #262 - Correct!
    Iron Man #232 - Close, very close!

  4. Iron Man no. 231? (I can't remember what the last armor wars issue was precisely).

    And I refuse to google this to figure it out.

    Anyway, I'm glad I got those other ones (really quite a fluke that I happen to have them all, except the Spider-Man photograph cover, but I keep seeing it in the bins and am going to buy it eventually...). Again, thanks for the fun!

  6. Wow, that's the furthest departure from the published version out of the issues you selected. Not sure which I like better (the action's cool, but that broken helmet is pretty dramatic).

    Thanks for reveal! All the best.

  7. WOw, the fact that i knew 3 of these off the top of my head is scary! I can't remember where I put my car keys, but i remember comic stuff from the 80's so vividly. I usually attribute this to being such a "sponge" for comic info in the 80's, before the hazy, party-time, 90's (when i wasn't reading comics anyway--and for good reason!

    btw, great blog, one of my favorites!
